Right Hand Conversion - Part 5 (Wilwood Pedal Box)

Due to the cost of a mustang pedal box being so high especially the cost of the clutch pedal alone would have cost me more to import than the complete Wilwood pedal assembly I decided t go this route.  First I fabricated a box for the firewall with the same 50 mm (2") height as the factory box.  



I then started the fabrication of the pedal support to hold the wilwood pedals.


Crush tubs made from the sleeves from a couple of dynabolts.



Completed pedal support assembly.


Holes drilled for master cylinders and ready for welding to firewall.


Firewall prepped ready for welding the pedal box.




Right Hand Conversion - Part 4 (Firewall)

Removal of the right side of the firewall, I did the replacement in 2 parts as to not remove to much strength from the firewall at once.



Firewall completed ready for grinding and some panel beating.


Right Hand Conversion - Part 3 (Dash Panel)

Marking out the dash ready for cutting into 4 pieces


Cuts made ready for welding back in on the opposite side.




Welds complete and cleaned up.


Test fitting back in the car.


Right Hand Conversion - Part 2 (Wiper Transmission)

This started with modifying the lower wiper motor bracket mount due to the different cowl contours on the right side.  This was achieved by cutting and re-welding the bracket so that one side is shorter.



All the brackets have been moved to the opposite side including the modified motor mount bracket.


Marking out of the wiper transmission motor spindle hole to reverse to allow correct park position.



Folding down of the transmission stops to allow swapping of sides.


Right Hand Conversion - Part 1 (Lower Cowl)

Well I started the right hand conversion which involved cutting out sections of the lower cowl and transferring to the opposite side.





Oops shouldn't haven't assumed that every thing is a mirror image, forgot the the wiper motor mount is offset so need to move the mount 65 mm to allow for it.




The lower cowl is now complete the brackets on the underside have also been moved and modified which will been seen in Part 2.
